Container plants can add magic to the summer garden!

All right, I admit it, I buy way too many plants! But, when I go to an arboretum sale and there are a slew of exotic annuals staring me in the face, I just can't help myself! Containers of lush foliage and fragrant flowers bring me so much pleasure. If only, I had a conservatory to grow them in during the winter. This year, as in years past, I'll drag as many pots as I can into the house and place them in front of my patio doors where the sun comes from the southwest. Some survive well enough to take cuttings as spring approaches.
